![]() ![]() So it looks as though in a flight between the the A330-300 and 777-200 the Airbus comes out on top but we havnt compared the 7E7.Another thing which goes against the 777 is extra training costs as Aer Lingus already have pilots flying the A330 as well as a medium sized A320/A321 family with change over time very small. I was surprised by the information I found on this plane.It costs more than the A330-300 to operate and can only carry as many passengers as the A330-300 aswell.So as it costs more to operate and can only carry an equal amount of passengers its going to cost more for passenger to fly on at $0.027 per KM.These figures are at full loads remember so 440 for the 777-200 and A330-300 but as configuration changes the costs change but as they carry equal passengers the variation is bascially 0.So on a flight to San Francisco the 777-200 would require passengers to pay $237.61 to break even with more required for profit. Now the A330-300 in my opinion would be the best option.On a flight to San francisco with a full load 440 passengers in a one class setup would have to pay $0.021 to break even.So altogether $181.59 to breka even with a full load with more needed for profit and of course waht are the chances of a full load. ![]() I cant see Aer Lingus operating a route over 8500/9000Km with maybe 1 exception.So lets take San Francisco for instance.To fly this route approxmitley 8500KM of fuel is needed so to break even Aer Lingus would have to charge $266 one way and obviously a little bit more for the profit margin.Also the A330-200 has a range of 11850KM so if they wanted to go further they could. The A330-200 costs $11.90KM to operate.For every KM cover each passenger in a 1 class configuration has to pay $0.031 if the flight is full to break even. The A330-200 carries a maximum of 380 passengers as far as I know that would be in a 1 class config which seems to be where EI are headed at the moment but maybe not on long haul route. The 2 main contendors to replace the long haul fleet are replacement A330s or new 777s.The A340 is out of the equation due to limited runway length in Dublin/DUB/EIDW. Ok I suppose some of you are sick of this topic but Ive been thinking about it all day.I was wondering when EI replace their A330s what will they pick.Unfortunatley I have no info on the 7E7 so if any body had details let me know. ![]()
